Just Before We Lost the War
The July wind blew from the mountainand threw a chill on the lake shoreThe whitecaps danced around uslike they never have beforeThere ain't no room in this little townNo one to settle up the scoreSo we must live with what we both put downjust before we lost the warMy love for you has gone unspokenStill you knew the words I'd sayYet we stand here with both hearts brokenon this windy summer dayI can't find relief in the lies I toldbut they came right from my coreI still believe one of us ran coldjust before we lost the warI used to think that time was plentyand time was all I knewBut it gets cut short for so manyIt could be me; it could be youThere ain't no wind that can blow the truthback to where it stood beforeAnd I couldn't change it in a cold phone boothjust before we lost the warSongtexteSo say goodbye and fare-thee-wellTell everyone I'm doing fineFor as far as I can tellI'm just ten years down the lineWhat we give we can't get backand we always ask for moreWe could not retreat; we could not attackjust before we lost the war Aus Songtexte Mania
